Professional Information
Consultant Colorectal, Laparoscopic Colorectal and General Surgeon MA MB MChir LRCP FRCS EBSQ (Coloproctology) Cambridge Spire Lea Hospital 30 New Road Cambridge Cambs CB24 9EL NHS Trust: Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Personal Website Contact: Private Secretary Phone: 01223 516600 Mr Justin Davies is a Consultant Colorectal, Laparoscopic Colorectal and General Surgeon in Cambridge. He has a busy NHS practice in the Cambridge Colorectal Unit at Addenbrooke's Hospital, part of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He consults with patients privately at the Nuffield Health Cambridge Hospital and the Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital. Following medical training at the University of Cambridge, Mr Davies undertook seven years of surgical training in Bristol and the south-west of England and two years of research in Cambridge investigating novel and non-invasive screening methods for colorectal cancer. This culminated in the award of a Master of Surgery higher degree from the University of Cambridge, as well as several prestigious prizes (Patey Prize and John of Arderne Medal) and publications (including the Lancet and Nature Reviews Cancer). From 2006-2007, he undertook a fellowship in open and laparoscopic (keyhole) colorectal surgery at the University of Toronto, Canada. This included training at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, which is one of the worlds foremost centres for the management of inflammatory bowel disease and ileal pouch surgery. He has spent time at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, USA, as the UK Travelling Fellow representing the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland and Royal Society of Medicine Section of Coloproctology. Mr Davies treats patients with all colorectal conditions. He has written extensively on the management of haemorrhoids (piles), and has a particular interest in the modern treatment of haemorrhoids. This includes doppler-guided transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialisation (THD), a minimally invasive procedure allowing haemorrhoidal artery ligation. This technique is associated with minimal discomfort afterwards and a fast return to normal activities. He regularly performs colonoscopy, with audited completion rates above the expected 90% level. His general surgery practice is intentionally limited to the open repair of groin (inguinal/femoral) and abdominal wall (incisional) hernias. Mr Davies is a fully trained, specialist surgeon in the use of laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) and diverticular disease. This approach has the advantages of smaller scars, less pain, a quicker recovery with less time in hospital and a faster return to normal activities/work. It is likely to result in fewer adhesions (scar tissue) inside the abdomen as well as fewer wound complications (infection, hernias). His results have been published, as well as presented in the UK and internationally. Mr Davies runs a joint service with a paediatric gastroenterologist for the management of adolescents/teenagers who require surgery for inflammatory bowel disease and is also a nominated surgeon for the management of patients requiring salvage surgery for anal cancer.
